We have stayed here a few times now when our flight from the UK has meant a Chicago stopover. We much prefer spending a couple of nights here than in some impersonal and overpriced downtown hotel chain. If you're expecting the Four Seasons level of accommodation then this place isn't for you. But, if you want a good value B+B... More

We stayed in St Joseph's Loft for 3 nights. The location is superb. Close to excellent public transport links, a range of restaurants nearby. Parking right by the front door. The loft is up 32 stairs, but they presented no problems. The apartment is spotless, spacious and fully equipped. The breakfast supplied every morning was excellent. We stayed in several... More

My husband and I met some college friends in Chicago and stayed in the loft apartment. It was perfect for a group-- we had our private bedrooms, but nice communal spaces to sit and visit. We caught up over lingering, scrumptious breakfasts before heading out to catch the city sites (it's about a $10 cab ride to the Miracle Mile).... More

Stayed here with my boyfriend and his family for one night and had a wonderful stay. It was his family's first time staying in a bed and breakfast and they loved it! We had the three bedroom upper apartment, which was very spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect and it was easy to get to downtown. The monks that... More

If you would like to avoid the hustle and hastle of a big city hotel the Benedictine Bed and Breakfast is for you. The B&B is just a block from Bridgeport coffee, CVS pharmacy and pizza joints. Bridgeport Coffee was a great place to get coffee, listen to live music, and pick up tips from the locals. tThe B&B is... More

My family stayed at the Garden House accommodation. It is located in a separate building from the church just across the street and appears to be a dwelling built in the early 1900's so has nice high ceilings but not a very modernized feel to it. The flat was a relatively roomy with 2 very small bedrooms and a double... More

I stayed in the garden apartment which can sleep comfortably up to 5 people. The neighbourhood is distinctly blue collar but quite safe, even at night. There is a cafe nearby, but dining opportunities are pretty limited, apart from Macs, a chinese takeaway, pizza takeaway, Subway and a mexican restaruant futher down. Getting to dwontown is a cinch; all you... More

Two types of accommodation are available, the Garden House and the Loft Apartment, we chose the Loft Apartment. It was huge and consisted of 2 double bedrooms, lounge, dining room, kitchen, bathroom (toiletries provided) and was decorated in a shabby chic kind of style. All of the rooms were a good size and well heated. Private parking was available to... More

Loved the communication from this place: you reserve your stay online, they email and mail you confirmation and then mail the receipt as well. The accommodations were pleasant. Large, spacious bottom floor apartment (we stayed in the Garden House) with self-catered options. The monks were very generous in the food they left and shopped specifically for a vegan diet. Not...

I guess I expected some insight into the lives of the monks living there. What I got was an empty office upon arrival even though we arrived at one of the two briefly alotted times. We were put in the "Garden House" which looks so cute in photos, but really isn't. The "garden" was a weed bed. The rooms were... More
